Total suspended matter, particulate organic matter and particulate inorganic matter from discrete water samples during RV MARIA S MERIAN cruise MSM129/1

This dataset was collected during the cruise MSM129/1 with RV MARIA S. MERIAN from Warnemünde, Germany to St. John's, Canada. It contains suspended particulate matter, particulate organic matter and particulate inorganic matter measurements [mg/l] from water samples collected from the seawater supply (Reinseewassersystem, RSWS) to calibrate the turbidity data of the RSWS system. The outflow of a PocketFerrybox that was connected to the seawater supply in the hangar was used for sampling. It takes a substantial amount of time for the water to reach the hanger from the intake point. The time delay between the sensor readings of the RSWS and the PocketFerrybox was determined and the timestamps of the water sampling were adjusted accordingly. Given latitute and longitude refer to this corrected timestamp. The original time of water sampling in the hangar is given as an additional column with the comment time of sampling. To obtain suspended particulate matter concentrations, water samples were filtered onboard through 0.7 μm pore size, glass fiber filters (Whatmann GF/F, 47 mm) under low vacuum. Filters were frozen immediately at -80 °C until gravimetric analysis in the laboratory at ICBM, Wilhelmshaven according to IOCCG recommendations.

Member States' use of revenues from the auctioning of EU ETS allowances, 2020-2024

This metadata overs the dataset containing information on how EU Member States spend the revenues from auctioning EU ETS emission allowances in one calendar year. More information on the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) can be found here. The revenues from the auctioning of these allowances represent an increasing income source for Member States. This data is being collected under Article 19 of the Governance Regulation. The Regulation’s aim is to help the EU reach its 2030 climate and energy targets by setting common rules for planning, reporting and monitoring. The Regulation also ensures that EU planning and reporting are synchronised with the ambition cycles under the Paris Agreement. Reporting is mandatory for EU Member States. Some information is only mandatory to report if the data is available.

Use cases from the German NTSPortal on the systematic use of high-resolution mass spectrometry non-target screening data in environmental monitoring and chemicals management

Background Society aims for a pollutant-free environment, reflected in initiatives under the European Green Deal, which seek to reduce hazardous substances and promote safe, sustainable chemical use. Comprehensive exposure data are needed to identify sources, understand mixtures and eliminate sources of chemical pollution. High-resolution mass spectrometry non-target screening (HRMS NTS) is increasingly used in environmental regulatory context to chemically characterise the environment as completely as possible and retrospectively screen for known and emerging substances. Results This study provides use cases for monitoring and chemicals management with data from the German NTSPortal, a database and visualisation tool for HRMS NTS data from surface water and suspended particulate matter of major German rivers. Its internal spectral library enables substance identification comparable to standardised target analysis, supporting regulatory acceptance of HRMS NTS data for prioritisation and mixture assessment. To demonstrate its potential to research and regulation, we characterised the spatial and temporal distribution of riverine chemical mixtures and present selected use cases relevant to EU environmental, emission, and chemical legislation. Despite pronounced spatial variability, mixture composition based on presence–absence data remained stable over time, with 855 of 1721 substances detected at least once and 247 occurring ubiquitously. Declining trends for regulated substances such as carbendazim and climbazole illustrate the effectiveness of regulatory measures. Overall, the results showed that NTS data repositories can help overcome fragmented exposure information and enable more consistent use of monitoring data across policy areas, including evaluation of the revised Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive and One Health concepts. Conclusions Data from the German NTSPortal enabled a multi-matrix and temporal characterisation of riverine chemical mixtures, revealing both stable mixture compositions over time and persistent, catchment-specific substances. These data facilitated high-resolution mixture assessments across space and time, alongside trend analyses that meet regulatory needs in environmental monitoring and chemical risk assessment. Further temporal, spatial, chemical and matrix-spanning expansion of HRMS NTS repositories will enhance their value for environmental monitoring programmes. Strengthening interoperability, implementing FAIR data principles, and developing advanced tools for prioritisation, quantification and toxicity prediction, including AI-based approaches, will be crucial to fully realise the regulatory potential of NTS portals in the future. © The Author(s) 2026.

Chlorophyll a and phaeophytin a measurements from discrete water samples during RV MARIA S. MERIAN cruise MSM129/1

This dataset was collected during the cruise MSM129/1 with RV MARIA S. MERIAN from Warnemünde, Germany to St. John's, Canada. It contains chlorophyll-a measurements [µg/l] from water samples collected from the seawater supply (Reinseewassersystem, RSWS) as well as from three CTD casts to calibrate the fluorometers of the RSWS system and the CTD, respectively. The outflow of a PocketFerrybox that was connected to the seawater supply in the hangar was used for sampling. It takes a substantial amount of time for the water to reach the hanger from the intake point. The time delay between the sensor readings of the RSWS and the PocketFerrybox was determined and the timestamps of the water sampling were adjusted accordingly. Given latitute and longitude refer to this corrected timestamp. The original time of water sampling in the hangar is given as an additional column with the comment time of sampling. To obtain chl-a concentrations, water samples were filtered onboard through 0.7 μm pore size, glass fiber filters (Whatmann GF/F) under low vacuum. Filters were frozen immediately at -80 °C until extraction in laboratory by 90% acetone method. Concentrations were calculated from fluorescence measured with a pre-calibrated Turner Design TD 7200-02 laboratory fluorometer (EPA445.0, Turner Manual).

European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) data from the Union Registry, Sep. 2026

This is the metadata for the EU Emission Trading System (EU ETS). EU ETS aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions cost-effectively by setting a cap on the total amount of emissions from covered sectors. These sectors include power and heat generation, energy-intensive industries aviation and shipping within the European Economic Area. Under the system, companies receive or purchase emission allowances, each permitting the release of one tonne of CO₂ or equivalent gases. Businesses can trade these allowances, creating a financial incentive to reduce emissions. If a company emits less than its allowance, it can sell the surplus; if it exceeds the cap, it must buy more or face penalties. The cap is reduced annually, ensuring a steady decline in emissions over time. The system has gone through several phases, with the current Phase 4 running from 2021 to 2030. It also supports innovation and investment in low-carbon technologies through dedicated funds. Overall, the EU ETS plays a key role in helping the EU reach its climate neutrality goal by 2050. Data about the EU emission trading system (ETS). The EU ETS data viewer provides aggregated data on emissions and allowances, by country, sector and year. The data mainly comes from the Union Registry. Additional information on auctioning and scope corrections is included.

EU Climate Policy Tracker

The EU Climate Policy Tracker (EU CPT) presents up-to-date developments in climate and energy policies in the EU-27. Although government policy is the single most influential driver behind the fight against climate change, there is limited information about the status of the policies that influence increases or decreases in emissions. The EU Climate Policy Tracker (EU CPT) is intended to bridge this gap. The project holds two references in focus at the same time: a 2050 goal of near total decarbonisation, and our current policy trajectory. A uniquely developed scoring method, modelled on appliance efficiency labels (A-G), gives an indication of how Member States are doing compared to a low-carbon policy package. This results in aggregated scores, supported with a rich background of information, for all Member States, at EU level, and for different economic sectors. The project is intended to be a resource for those seeking information, a means of sharing best practice, and a way of holding policymakers to account. In 2011 we updated our initial rating from November 2010. The findings of 2010 showed that the average score across the EU was an E, indicating that the level of effort needed to treble to be on track to reach the 2050 vision. Looking at the developments in 2011, we can see that there has been considerable activity in many countries, though the overall scoring has generally remained constant: positive actions are counteracted by negative developments or budget cuts. The EU CPT is a joint project by Ecofys and WWF. The project is funded by the European Climate Foundation. Visit the EU Climate Policy Tracker on: www.climatepolicytracker.eu.

Forschergruppe (FOR) 5095: Interaktionen von Schadstoffen, Antibiotikaresistenz und Pathogenen in einem sich ändernden Abwasserbewässerungssystem

Die Nutzung von Abwasser zur Bewässerung in der Landwirtschaft ist eine entscheidende Möglichkeit, die Effizienz der Wassernutzung zu erhöhen, Wasserknappheit zu mindern und die Nahrungsmittelproduktion zu steigern. Eine Behandlung von Abwasser vor der Nutzung in der Landwirtschaft wird generell empfohlen, um Umwelt- und Gesundheitsrisiken zu reduzieren. Die Umstellung von einer Bewässerung mit unbehandeltem auf eine Bewässerung mit behandeltem Abwasser führt zu einer Reduktion des Eintrages von organischem Kohlenstoff, Nährstoffen und vielen Schadstoffen. Jedoch können durch die Umstellung auf eine Bewässerung mit behandeltem Abwasser auch Schadstoffe mobilisiert werden, die sich in der Vergangenheit im Boden während der Bewässerung mit unbehandeltem Abwasser akkumuliert haben. Wir postulieren daher, dass die Implementierung einer konventionellen Abwasserbehandlung in etablierten Bewässerungssystemen, die unbehandeltes Abwasser genutzt haben, mit bislang unvorhergesehenen Risiken verbunden ist. Diese Risiken ergeben sich i) aus der Remobilisierung der in der Vergangenheit im Boden akkumulierten Schadstoffe, die zu Schadstoffkonzentrationen in Böden und Pflanzen führt, die eine (Ko-)Selektion von Antibiotikaresistenzen bewirken und ii) durch eine in der Folge gesteigerte Selektion und Ausbreitung von resistenten Bakterien und Resistenzgenen. Zur Beurteilung des Ausmaßes und der Relevanz dieser Risiken fehlt jedoch ein grundlegendes Verständnis der (Ko)-Selektionsprozesse resistenter Bakterien und des Transfers von Resistenzgenen unter dem Einfluss subinhibitorischer Konzentrationen von Antibiotikawirkstoffen und Desinfektionsmitteln und ihrer Kombinationen in Böden und Pflanzen. Außerdem sind räumliche und sorptive Kontrollfaktoren dieser Interaktionen wenig erforscht. Kaum untersucht ist auch die Kopplung des Verhaltens und der Effekte von Antibiotika und Desinfektionsmitteln unter subtropischen Bedingungen, unter denen erhöhte Temperaturen sowohl die Selektion von resistenten Bakterien, aber auch die Dissipation von organischen Schadstoffen in einem bislang unbekannten Ausmaß steigern können. Die Implementierung einer Abwasserbehandlung im weltweit größten Abwasserbewässerungssystem Mexico City-Valle Mezquital bietet die Chance, das erforderliche Prozessverständnis für die Beurteilung der oben genannten Risiken zu gewinnen. Die vorgeschlagene Forschungsgruppe wird die kontrollierenden Mechanismen der Dynamiken von Schadstoffen und multiresistenter Bakterien während des Überganges von einer Bewässerung mit unbehandeltem Abwasser hin zu einer Bewässerung mit behandeltem Abwasser aufklären. Eine solche Forschungsgruppe wird darüber hinaus ein grundlegendes Prozessverständnis der Interaktionen zwischen dem Verhalten unterschiedlicher Schadstoffe und Bakterien sowie der Selektion und Ausbreitung von Antibiotikaresistenzen in Agrarökosystemen liefern.
